SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2002, Commerce published 

the AD order in the Federal Register.1

In the most recently completed 

administrative review of the Order 

covering the period July 1, 2020, to June 

30, 2021, we rescinded the 

administrative review with respect to 

Garware Polyester Limited (Garware).2

The most recently completed 

administrative review in which Garware 

was assigned a dumping rate was the 

administrative review covering the July 

1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, period, 

wherein Garware was a nonindividually examined company under 

review.3

On July 4, 2023, in accordance with 

section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

51.221(c)(3), Garware Hi-Tech requested 

that Commerce conduct an expedited 

CCR to determine that Garware Hi-Tech 

is the successor-in-interest to Garware 

due to a change in the company’s name 

(i.e., Garware Polyester Limited to 

Garware Hi-Tech), and assign Garware 

Hi-Tech the non-selected rate assigned 

to Garware in the 2017–2018 

administrative review.4 In its 

submission, Garware Hi-Tech addressed 

the factors Commerce analyzes with 

respect to successor-in-interest 

determinations in the AD context and 

provided supporting documentation. 

Commerce received no comments from 

interested parties on Garware Hi-Tech’s 

request. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the AD order 

are all gauges of raw, pretreated, or 

primed PET film, whether extruded or 

coextruded. Excluded are metalized 

films and other finished films that have 

had at least one of their surfaces 

modified by the application of a 

performance-enhancing resinous or 

inorganic layer of more than 0.00001 

inches thick. Imports of polyethylene 

terephthalate film, sheet, and strip are 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) under item number 

3920.62.00.90. HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes. The written description of the 

scope the AD order is dispositive. 

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce 

will conduct a CCR upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from an interested party for a review of 

an Order that shows changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant a 

review of the order. Commerce 

determines that the information 

submitted by Garware Hi-Tech 

constitutes a sufficient basis to conduct 

a CCR of the Order.5

In the event that Commerce 

determines an expedited action is 

warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii) 

permits Commerce to combine the 

notice of initiation of the review and the 

preliminary results of review into a 

single notice. However, we are not 

combining this notice of initiation with 

the preliminary results, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), because 

Commerce has determined that it is 

necessary to issue a questionnaire 

requesting additional information from 

Garware for this CCR regarding its 

ownership and management structure 

and its production facilities. After 

examining any properly filed comments 

and following up with any additional 

questionnaires as needed, we intend to 

issue the preliminary results of the CCR. 

Preliminary and Final Results of the 

CCR 

Commerce intends to publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of the 

preliminary results of this CCR in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) 

and (c)(3)(i). Commerce will set forth its 

preliminary factual and legal 

conclusions in that notice and a 

description of any action proposed 

based on those results. All information 

submitted may be subject to verification. 

Failure to allow full and complete 

verification of any information 

submitted may affect Commerce’s 

consideration of that information. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), 

interested parties will have an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results. Unless extended, 

Commerce will issue the final results of 

this CCR in accordance with the time 

limits set forth in 19 CFR 351.216(e). 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are publishing this initiation 

notice in accordance with section 

751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 

CFR 351.216(b), and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(1). 

Dated: August 16, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations.
